Get back on the bike

in #life7 years ago

As a father of 4 there are many milestones that need to be ticked off. All take a slow and steady process of experiment and learning, but there is always failure prior to success.

My oldest son is a 5 year old that is yet to master the art of riding a bike without the assistance of training wheels. This not an issue in my mind but there comes a time when a parent starts to feel ‘it is time’ this task is put to bed.

On a recent holiday to a small town the task was stepped up a notch. The timing was perfect, starting on grass the first push from Dad resulted in about a 20 metre ride without assistance. From here we progressed to riding on the footpath to then on the quiet roads. Now, two weeks on, there is still a minor hiccup occasionally (aka stack) but all in all things are now on the right track.

Overall, it shows that learning a new skill is process driven and eventually everything aligns.

2 more kids to go!!

hi @qworks, welcome to steemit.

your post made me remember the days when my youngest brother was teaching me how to ride a bike. He was 8 and i was 18 hahahh it was an epic fail but we got there in the end.

Just a suggestion for the next time you post. you can add 5 tags on each post. you can find tag ideas by clicking on trending and pick those that apply to you.

Remember to support @whalepower and happy posting

Cheers for the tips, yes it was a pure guess re the tags and i knew LIFE was an option

Good job @happyboo25! Glad to see you supporting new members.
Well done!

Welcome @qworks, might be best to do another post tomorrow with #introduction #introduceyourself and maybe #blog #photography #life and remember to upvote and support @bullionstackers and interact with him and use his #whalepower tag.

You'll get better in a few days ;)

Yes well aware of the #introduction being the ideal start, had this written so thought I would begin with it. Get the #tag thing now.

Welcome! Gonna send some little votes your way as a welcome gift!
